January 2022

It is January 17, 2022. I never thought I would be writing this date and you wouldn’t be sitting here next to me. Looking at the blog now I realize we have moved on from Mommy to Mom. You both have grown up so much, Tanner is taller than me now. I guess I should change the name of the blog to Letters from Your Mom, but I still love the memory and tone of how Letters from Mommy sound. We were still so close then, you could still remember our memories of your childhood. I wonder now what you remember and what has been wiped from your memory forever.

Time has been the only thing that is helping, each day that passes is one day closer to being reunited with you. I heard you might be moving to Taiwan, your dad has always wanted to live there. We haven’t spoken since July when Tanner needed his passport renewed so once again I believed your Dad would set up the weekly or monthly calls like he promised. But again he only did that to get my permission and signature to renew Tanner’s passport. Once he got what he wanted he then made up another reason to stop all of the phone calls. And then it ended. I wrote you what happened and told you the truth. Time is all that will heal and bring us back together. I miss you, I miss living life with you but I know that God’s plan was for me to be with you until you didn’t need me anymore. You are doing what you need to do now and when that phase is over we will reunite. I trust in God’s plan and trust that God is watching over you and taking care of you. It doesn’t make it hurt less, it doesn’t make me miss you less, but it allows me to go on another day remembering, each day that passes is one more day to reuniting with you.

I love you,

Mom
